Tofu, fried rice, stuff!

So, I just noticed I've never eaten tofu for real before, and today was a nice day to try it out!
So I invited a bunch of the lovelies (aka. girls) over and made this fried rice thing! It was much on the tasty side, and easy to make!

4 ounces firm tofu, drained
2 eggs
Oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups thinly sliced Chinese cabbage
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
3 cups cooked white rice
1/4 cup canned chicken broth
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Slice the tofu, put aside. Put the kettle on and boils rice, remember that rice expands to about 2/3's of the original, so for 3 cups I used 1 cup of uncooked rice.
Put some oil on a wok, and mix in 2 eggs. Stir for a bit, till they form a nice, umm.. paste. Set that aside and add new oil. Pop in the garlic, chili and ginger. Stir till fragrant. Add thinly sliced carrots and the cabbage and the peas. 10 minutes, or until the carrots get al dente'ish. After that, add the chicken broth, soy sauve, sherry and vinegar, and boil for 3-5 minutes. Add the rice, soy and what else are we missing? Wait a sec with the eggs. When you're ready to serve the food, add the eggs and open the wine!
I have no pics of this success, it disappeared fast!
Let that be an indicator on how awesome-good it was!
